Default 2007 GT Stalls while moving

Hey all. My first problem with my car. Its a 07 GT with a brenspeed tune and c&l intake. When pushing my clutch in to stop, my rpms drop to about 200-300 then stalls. Sometimes it will jump back up to 800-1000, but mostly just stalls. Any ideas? Is there something I can adjust to increase the rpms? Something going bad? I have no idea. Thanks all

Clean MAF and throttle-body, then check for cracked tubing (ie. vacuum leak).

95% chance, scratch that, 98% chance it's just a dirty tb. 3 minute, $4.00 fix.

Also, if you recently replaced or disconnected the battery, then the erratic idle can be caused by the ECU re-learning the idle. If this is the case, it should resolve itself after 20-50 miles of driving.

Assuming you just installed this, or have had it on for a while? Firstly check all fittings and connections, and then a cleaning wouldn't hurt. Make sure you didn't forget to hook everything back up obviously.

Going to look at it now. I just recently reinstalled my intake a few days ago after I got my inspection sticker. Going to clean it, and double check all the connections. I've been using this intake tune for about 4 years now no problem. Thanks, let you all know how i make out
